50. Jarvis beats Dracula to a pulp.
Upon hearing the news, Peter felt a sudden pang of panic. Why did it have to be in Queens? At this time, Uncle Ben was at home. That vampire shouldn't be that close to his house, right?
The more Peter thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He said in a panic, "Captain, Mr. Stark, Mr. Ji Yuan, I have to go now. Uncle Ben is still at home, I'm scared..."
After saying that, he prepared to swing on his web and head towards Queens.
"Don't rush me, Peter. Have you forgotten about me, the magician?" Ji Yuan said with a smile.
Then, with a casual stroke, a hole surrounded by a silver-white halo appeared. The opposite side was not far from where Dracula appeared in Queens, but fortunately, it was some distance from Peter's house.
"What... what is this? Spatial folding magic?" Stark was extremely shocked. He didn't expect that Ji Yuan would have new magic again after returning this time, and it even involved advanced spatial manipulation.
"It's just a regular travel spell. Go on, and call me if you can't beat them. I'll open the door for you again," Ji Yuan said with a smile, urging him on.
"Stark, now is not the time to study magic. Every second we delay could cause even greater casualties," Steve said in a lecturing tone, by which time he had already put on his uniform and picked up his shield.
Stark pursed his lips, tapping his finger on the reactor in his chest. A silver and red bodysuit covered him like water as he said, "Alright, Antiques, Minors, and Genius Inventors team, on the move!"
After saying that, he leaped into the portal, and had Jarvis scan the portal's data during the process.
At the same time, Peter also put on his Spider-Man suit.
Steve shook his head, picked up Peter who had just changed his clothes, and followed closely behind.
Ji Yuan closed the portal. This method was actually just a way of utilizing energy, and it wasn't considered a particularly difficult technique.
If he wanted, he could open a portal at any time and teleport to any location on Earth, or even in the universe, as long as he had the spatial coordinates of that location.
With his eyes closed, Ji Yuan's vision spanned more than ten kilometers, landing on the trio who had just passed by.
This is also a minor ability, let's call it Ultra Vision. Where there is light, there is vision, which makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
On the other side, Stark's expression beneath his mask was somewhat grave. According to the mech's vampire detection system, the vampire in front of him was about to reach its maximum strength.
Most importantly, this show-off vampire just flew in the air, doing nothing, as if waiting for them to come over. How arrogant!
"Tony, you hold off that vampire, Spider-Man and I will evacuate the crowd," Steve said.
Below the vampire, crowds of citizens raised their phones to record, their eyes filled with curiosity about this "human" who could fly without any props.
Stark shook his head, thinking that watching the spectacle might cost him his life.
He quickly flew to a spot not far from the vampire and taunted, "Oh! Look at this old relic, where did you dig it up from? It's the 21st century, why are you still wearing this retro high-necked cloak? Don't tell me you stole this secondhand junk from some vampire sex shop."
"Stark Industries has welfare programs. Should we enroll you? It's so hot in this cloak, isn't it? Or is our vampire feeling empty, lonely, and cold, needing the warmth of the sun to soothe his heart?"
Under Stark's extreme taunts, a blush crept onto Dracula's pale face; the humans of this new era were so impolite.
"Human, you will pay the price for mocking a king. I will make the finest wine cup from your head."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dracula pounced on Stark like a bolt of lightning.
Before Stark could react, Dracula was already in front of him. Fortunately, Jarvis was in combat mode and activated his automatic defense mode to dodge the slap.
"Mr. Stark, this vampire's speed far exceeds the limits of your naked eye. Would you like me to pilot the mech?" Jarvis's voice rang in his ears.
"Yes, Jarvis, activate the Ultimate Combat System. You control it and smash this vampire to pieces!" Stark said angrily. To be honest, he was shocked by what he just saw. The vampire's speed did not match the detected data at all.
"Yes, sir, the Ultimate Combat System has been activated."
When Jarvis took over the mech, a faint light appeared on it, as if something different had happened.
Dracula also sensed a change in the metal shell in front of him. It has to be said that humans in this era are indeed much stronger than humans in the past, but this still cannot stop the darkness from descending.
A ripple spread through the air as Dracula launched a telekinetic attack on Stark.
Jarvis simply raised his arm, and an energy cannon fired from his hand, instantly blasting half of Dracula's body to pieces.
He then flashed in front of Dracula before Dracula could react, activated the thruster on the right end of his arm, and slammed it down on Dracula's head.
With thousands of years of combat experience, Dracula instantly dispersed into mist, dodging the punch. He followed up with a knee strike, targeting Stark's groin.
In slow motion footage of the mecha, which is a thousand times faster, Dracula's movements are clearly visible. The thrusters on his chest activate, and he narrowly avoids the fatal kick.
Before the mech could stabilize, Jarvis raised his arms, and his left arm emitted high-frequency ultrasonic waves. Blood immediately flowed from Dracula's ears, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
Several energy cannons shot out from his right arm, instantly turning Dracula into several pieces of minced meat.
"Sir, this vampire's physical regeneration speed is dozens of times that of an ordinary vampire, and it doesn't have the weaknesses that vampires should have. We cannot completely destroy it."
"My suggestion is to lock it in a mech and use high-voltage current to continuously shock it, thus inhibiting its mobility," Jarvis said.
"Okay, then do as you say, turn it off," Stark said.
"Yes, sir."
Jarvis quickly placed Stark on the ground, then maneuvered the mech to fly in front of Dracula, who was almost back to human form. He then placed Dracula inside the mech, which emitted a dazzling blue light. Dracula screamed from the electric shock, showing none of his usual regal demeanor.
In just a few minutes, Dracula had been "captured" by Stark alone.
Even then, Steve and Peter managed to evacuate the crowd, and the Queens Police arrived late.
Stark grinned smugly: "Captain, this is the great Stark technology. Just a vampire, easy peasy."
Steve nodded: "Your mech does have its merits; at least it's not as vulnerable as it was to me before."
Stark was about to say something more when a chilling voice came from behind him.
"You are qualified to witness the power of a king."
The crackling of electricity was mixed with Dracula's roar.
